My good friends Erik and Abra got married two weekends ago at Bare Knuckle Farm (where Abra is a business partner/farmer) in Northport, MI. The weather was *perfect* (despite the fact that much of the east coast was being hit by Hurricane Irene), old pals were there in force (making for a killer dance party later), and the food, oh, the food!
Abra is a chef in Chicago, and she enlisted her Chicago chef pals to each contribute a dish, for a local farm fancy wedding potluck, of sorts.
Two of the bakers Abra works with are Paula Haney and Kelsey Coday of Hoosier Mama Pie Company. They contributed the most delicious Peach Apricot Raspberry pies which stood alongside cakes by Sandra Holl and Meghan Stone at Floriole Bakery.
I can't speak much about the pie, honestly, because I ate it in sporadic bites while trying to prep for DJing, and don't remember specificities of taste, just that it was so fresh and DELICIOUS.
Congratulations and thank you to Abra & Erik (as well as to everyone who contributed) for this quite perfect celebration. May there be many delicious pies in your future! xoxo.
